Former US First Lady Rosalynn Carter’s passing at 96 announced

On November 19, the passing of the former First Lady of the United States, Rosalynn Carter, was officially announced.

The Carter Center, responsible for managing communications for the family of the former first couple, disclosed that she passed away at the age of 96.

Rosalynn leaves behind her husband, Jimmy Carter, who served as the 39th President of the United States from 1977 to 1981.

According to a check by GhanaWeb, although the Carters did not visit Ghana during their time in office, they made a joint trip to the country in 2007.

This visit was in collaboration with the Ministry of Health for a health program.

During their visit to Tingoli in the north, they participated in a campaign focused on eradicating guinea worm and trachoma, prevalent issues in the region at that time.

The Carter Center has shared photos and details of their impactful visit.
